Today has been fun - after arriving and meeting our lovely host Ian, we got a taxi to the Ritz (no not the actual Ritz, the S.Africa backpackers Ritz!) which is a great hostel in a suburb called Dunkeld. We had some time to look around, stick our feet in the pool etc before a chat with Ian about the plans from now on and some basic knowledge for the trip.
After that Flo, Catherine, Sam and I embarked upon possibly the most epic part of the journey so far - to buy some food for ourselves and Katy who was staying in the room. It was undeniably an epic fail as we managed to come back with the most nutritious meal ever: one banana, a pot of olives, bread, dried mango, sugar snap peas and chocolate stones. MMMMMMMM. However, the olives leaked onto the bread and the chocolate stones tasted like baby sick (according to Catherine and Flo) so it wasn't so nice (i.e. Katy only ate the banana...)
After we had recovered from this excitement, we went out for dinner with Ian, thanks Projetc Trust for paying for that ha ha ha, at least I can see the money went somewhere good on that nice steak...
The meal was good chat and now we are all going to bed for an early start at 6am tomorrow. Plane to Mthata is at 8.20am FUN TIMES!
Hope the snow back home is fun xxxx
